MURRAY'S STORY
See the difference one intervention can make.
In March 2024, Murray—an eight-month-old kitten—developed a gastrointestinal blockage after swallowing a foreign object. Surgery was the only life-saving option.
The SplootCare Fund provided the support Murray's family needed to move forward. After recovery, Murray returned home healthy and ready for the adventures ahead.

My dog Nova had a severe case of pyometra and they went above and beyond to make sure my fur baby got the care she needed. From Callie to Marissa all the way to Dr Ratchford and his team. We are having some hardships at the moment and they all were very caring to my situation and didn’t just turn me away feeling helpless.
Their compassion fund helped with a huge portion of her overall medical needs and we couldn’t have been more thankful. She was seen and had surgery the same day and now we’re home recovering. I cannot thank this place enough. A literal LIFE SAVER!!! ♥♥♥
